Language like WSB uses is meant to amuse edgelords and (hopefully) upset 'normies'. When normies are offended by cavalier use of slurs and labels (and if you're offended, you're by definition a normie), the edgelords point and laugh at the normie who doesn't share their same nihilistic worldview.

WSB is what happens when immature, nihilistic, overly online middle class boys grow up into immature, nihilistic, overly online men-children. The only thing that changed as they aged is now they have to hide their power level while in normie society.
Do you just have a bookmark list of clever video comebacks to silly questions?
Fair point. My bad for not getting it.
For a bunch of people who raise hell about the dangers of using SMS for 2FA, I'm a little surprised at the cavalier dismissal of serious institutional and technological shortcomings in one of the most mission critical systems in the world.

I think maybe that's psychological bias at play and not, say, actual affirmation that the system is resilient, let alone adequate. The number of downvotes I've gotten without a single reply is quite suggestive of this.

Seriously disappointed in this community of some of the most enlightened technical and scientific minds in the world, right now...
Yeah I know right!! Just wondering if some big issue is going to fall on me by the end of the day when I want to sign off.

While they're not using this data to moderate by consensus at this point that's clearly the direction they're heading. Consensus certainly has its place, particularly in democratic institutions. But IMHO it's an anti-feature for a forum. It's exactly the counter-consensus opinions that I find most valuable. To the extent that they are suppressed the forum simply loses my interest. Yes, it's useful to see where the consensus is heading. But mostly it's a snooze, and the compelling content is the stuff that challenges it.

A better use of this data would be to highlight the counter-consensus speakers so that I can have a listen.
Scale matters. 160 million votes were cast in the U.S. in each of the past 2 elections.

36 million votes were cast in France in the last election.

The U.S. is capable of counting 36 million votes by hand overnight as well, and most votes were once counted by hand in the U.S.

What constitutes what's "out of threshold"? If a voting machine, either by design or flaw, pushes a close vote outside the threshold - then that's a way to bypass the checks & balances and can be exploited by the unethical.

That paragraph is disingenuous. A vote that is outside the threshold for an automatic recount is not a close vote; the margin between candidates is thousands of votes (or more).

If a voting machine has a design flaw or other flaw, that would have been discovered during one of the several inspections and trial runs it was put through before being certified for use. Moreover, many states now require paper receipts of all ballots cast (as a result of Russian hacking of election machines in 2016), so if there is any suspicion of manipulated results, the human-legible ballot receipts can be tallied. States with these types of printed ballot receipts will audit the electronic tallies against hand-counts of the printed ballots on a random precinct-level basis.
They didn't imply (not "infer") that nothing was being done. They implied that not enough was being done and more attention needed to be given to the problem. That seems reasonable, doesn't it?
It started with way more features, that even today, were never paralleled with real time messaging. The one I particularly remember is that you could see people typing, as they were typing. It was really a modern marvel.
The language there is definitely used as a shibboleth, a stenograph, and a ward. Enough of the people there are knowledgeable enough to know 1) the types of automation that go into mining social media, and 2) how to communicate in a manner that maintains plausible deniability in the event of interest from authorities. Everyone else plays along so they can be part of the group.

I'm no longer sympathetic to the "They're securing my device from the boogeyman!" argument.

It has the same overtures as "Won't anyone think of the children!!!!" in policy debates - It's rhetoric designed to obfuscate the true intentions of the parties involved, and short-circuit real discussion with an immediate emotional response.
except we also have additional data from overseas. Australia has comparatively mild winters and my family is originally from Queensland where some of the "worst" towns for unemployment and disadvantage clearly have a bit of a "paradise" effect (that is to say, if you're going to live on unemployment, you might as well live where there's good weather, fishing and swimming year round and prices are a bit cheaper than the urban centres).

Australia does provide public housing, but I'll take a stab and say it's cut back from its peak amount.

When you travel through California (and the US in general), i'd estimate homelessness and poverty to be at least an order of magnitude worse in the US (I want to hesitate to say two orders of magnitude worse) compared to anything I see at home. Clearly there's something about society and/or the structure of social safety nets that has a real and measurable effect on poverty and homelessness overall.

/ before someone jumps onto Google to try to disprove me: I've been to both countries (several times in fact), and worked with both homelessness and official national statistics. One of the things internet pundits misunderstand is the definition and measures of homelessness/poverty between the two countries: I think my estimate is pretty fair napkin math, it might be a 4 or 5 multiple instead, but I think we're quibbling by that point.
The python >3.8 requirement broke the use case for me. I know that there is support for creating API's on python 3.5+. It's just not worth it to upgrade to 3.8 to create docs and then downgrade again to 3.7 run the actual code.
"Every" Is usually tacked onto these sorts of statements by someone who either has to go around cleaning up after other people, or is just generally tired of dealing with the consequences of other people hiding behind ignorance like it's the best shield even invented.
While on the topic of third-party cookies - is there any legitimate use for those at all (outside of semi-covert user tracking)?

I understand how first-party cookies are useful - you take a stateless protocol (HTTP) and make it aware of "sessions". And those in turn are a nifty block to build upon - login/authentication, "shopping cart", whatever...

But having one website to be able to save state that is only accessible to a chosen different site - what's the use for that?
I find that there's bit of irony in you of all people defending a safety-critical system that can kill hundreds of people if human error occurs during a high-stress situation.

The way I understand it, the pilots only had less than twenty seconds to perform the two steps you refer to; that's fine if they've been specifically trained to perform these steps enough times that they become second nature, but the very point of the MCAS system was that Boeing didn't want clients to pay for additional training. In a high-intensity situation, when the aircraft does something unexpected and the pilots have no time to consult the manual, it's really easy to forget one bit of the manual if it hasn't been drilled into you.
OTOH, perhaps those who are starting to have myopia aren't going to want to do outdoorsy things because they tend to require far-seeing. If I can't see what's going on far away, I'm not going to have a fun time with most sports, and I'd rather read a book.
An optometrist in Germany told me the same regarding measuring eyes in the morning, for what it's worth. I came in after work and they basically turned me away because they didn't think I'd get a good measurement at that time.
In my experience, wearing glasses that are either too strong _or_ too weak for your myopia will lead to headaches. Lots of headaches.

I’m very sure you’re wrong. If you’ve ever traded a larger position, you quickly realize that it doesn’t take a ton of volume to move the price of a stock like GME. Take a look at how quickly the GME threads on WSB get 100k posts and take a look at how many posters there are on the WSB Discord and note that the ratio of lurkers to posters is high on most forums.

Making a nuclear weapon actually detonate in a nuclear manner is one of the hard problems of making a nuclear weapon. Basically you have to set the explosives off just right. An accidental detonation of the conventional parts of the bomb can't do that (short of like space re-entry speeds or some other thing that could provide the force needed even without an explosion). The fear has always been around the detonation systems since those are the only thing realistically capable of setting off a nuclear explosion. Since the 1950s as detonation systems have gotten more reliable they've added more and more redundancy so those have all sorts of interlocks to prevent them from going off if not armed and fired. It's not like an airbag where if you hook up 12v to the right pins it goes bang. They actually need to be armed and then fired which requires a whole bunch of systems doing their thing in a specific order. The systems that arm weapons (like the aircraft and rocket side hardware) are relatively sophisticated and robust and a hell of a lot of man hours have been put into them over the years because the last thing you need is a risk of ordinance going off when you're already trying to fight a fire.

Twitter's owners seem to believe that their platform is an oligarchy of opinion leaders (celebrities, etc.), who influence the malleable minds of their aptly-named followers. And they're probably right that this is the overwhelming use case!

I spend a few months in a corner of Twitter with lots of open-minded and free discussion of politics between non-celebrity nobodies. Many accounts in said corner were brigaded, and then shadowbanned or banned outright, etc.

I'm still sore about the platform's intolerance, but it was a powerful lesson about the intolerance in modern society. Birdwatch seems to be yet another mechanism which enables and furthers the shutdown of free expression.

I'm very happy that HN is still capable of having thoughts that stray outside the Overton window, and that zealots are usually ignored =)

I would guess they knew what awaited them, but hoped efforts to open the country would be successful and they would be allowed to return. The Manhattan was able to return some sailors to Japan in 1845[1] that shipwrecked in Japanese waters, making the rule seem somewhat flexible.

I think an earlier version of the Perry expedition helmed by John Aulick intended to try and return 17 Japanese sailors as a sign of good faith/bargaining tool.[2]

Any ideas why it seems like tech hotspots start passing laws like this? I'm thinking of San Francisco, Seattle, and Austin. I feel like there is some correlation, but I do not know what it is. My perspective is that maybe it seems more compassionate to not outlaw street camping, but I do not see how it is helpful to anyone including the ones on the street to allow this to continue.
It doesn't really make sense to fly armed weapons around as a strategic deterrent now, since you can mount them on missiles instead, which can be stored in safer and faster to launch silos and are harder to intercept anyways. And put them in submarines that are even harder to locate.

Before all that, it seemed much more reasonable to do so, if you were concerned that your enemy might sneak their bombers close enough to destroy your bomber airfields before you could get your bombers airborne.
Since I learned that excess UV radiation burns the retina, I've started always wearing sunglasses outside. Should I stop?
Yeah, the PCI-e root complex is on the CPU dies, because on x86 at least PCI is cache coherent with the CPUs. They need to get pretty close to the CPUs anyway.

It's been very interesting to observe because although I had heard the notion that malignant narcissists "can't accept ever losing" I realize I hadn't truly perceived what that entails. They invent an entire reality, Truman Show / The Matrix / Inception-style, where they didn't lose. And of course that alternative reality by definition has to feature some reason why there's a new dude in the WH now.
We're making Saasform, I'd be happy to talk to you and show you where we are. Contact in my profile.

It's going to be open source and integrate authentication, payments and common growth & marketing tools (Google Analytics, Tag Manager, etc). Specifically, user registration + login, account recovery, subscriptions, payments (Stripe), team member invites...

Saasform is built with security and usability in mind. It's a standalone service including its own datastore, i.e. it's not a boilerplate, so you can build your SaaS with the tech stack you'd like, even serverless. All you need to do is to integrate Saasform authentication in your backend or functions.

>Our biggest jobs run MPI, and all pods within the job are participating in a single MPI communicator. If any of the participating pods die, the entire job halts and needs to be restarted.

Sounds like a strange approach for ML jobs - i mean you'd expect that all those parallel subtasks aren't each individually midway interconnected with each other, and that the failed subtask can be easily restarted on its own. With thousands of subtasks running in parallel some are bound to fail for whatever reason. Their choice of MPI over HTTP suggests though that they pay a premium for latency and that suggests the subtasks actively cross-communicating, a typical case for MPI.
What a silly comment.

a) “Why do we use DRAM instead of SRAM?” is a perfectly valid question from a programmer that is worth a paragraph of detail, including the capacitor discharge curves. It is not like this is a major focus of the article! It’s just a small detail in the overview of the hardware. Seems very strange to be so upset by this.

b) If you ever write software for something that isn’t a desktop or server (eg a printer, a robot, some new shiny tech) then the hardware details of RAM are absolutely relevant and can’t be abstracted away by a nice alloc API. I can understand not wanting to focus on areas like this (devices are not my cup of tea) but I can’t understand deciding it’s ipso facto irrelevant because you’re a programmer.

FYI there may be an association between bruxism and sleep apnea: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-apnea/link-between-sle...

I have both. I wear a very tough nightguard whenever I sleep. I tried a few 'comfort' guards but just ground through them. Finally my dentist got me a very hard plastic guard and it has lasted over 5 years.

I'm naturally tense and I don't think I'll fix my bruxism until I can stop worrying about how I'm going to afford alimony and my retirement. Modern problems I guess.
This keeps getting down-voted, so let me clarify.

The problem was summed up nicely in Stephen Diehl's "Near Future of Programming Languages" which I've posted as separately another comment (http://dev.stephendiehl.com/nearfuture.pdf). Here's an important slide:

"Where will the next great programming language come from?

Academia? NO. No incentive to do engineering. Those that do are committing career suicide. Funding is drying up for fundamental research.

Industry? NO. Can’t fund anything that doesn’t have a return beyond a fiscal quarter. Incrementalism doesn’t move things forward.

Hobbyists? NO. No economic means. Modern implementations require multiple FTE and decades.

Will we just be stuck in a local maxima of Java for next 50 years?"

I've personally attempted to create a sort of Manhattan Project of getting some top minds together in an off-site location to work on it in earnest. (I'm not joking. In 2018, I found a small 13-room hotel near Nice, France and made an attempt to get a bunch of us sequestered there for a year. Alan Kay liked the idea, by the way.)

None of that is happening. The sad truth is that the computer revolution isn’t even being worked on.
There are a lot of statements in these subcultures that can't be definitively pinned down as ironic or not ironic. For example, calling software "broken" started as a gross oversimplification that drew attention to itself as a gross oversimplification. It could be used when you wanted to gloss over complex questions of what the software is good for and what you need it to do, while at the same time, to avoid lying by omission, drawing attention to what you were omitting.

But then people started calling software "broken" to express, "My gut feeling is that this software sucks, and I think it would be a waste of time for me to question or attempt to substantiate this feeling," and they felt validated in that attitude because there was a perfect means for expressing it in the programming lexicon.

Now when I hear someone say "broken," it doesn't have the reassuring subtext of "I know this is a gross oversimplification, and I'm open to providing more detail about my reasoning." It might mean the opposite. (Or it might mean, "I'm making outrageous statements because I know I'm right, and I would relish the opportunity to bully anyone who questions me.")

Similarly, one person might say "everybody hates me, and I can't blame them because I'm worthless" in a deliberately ironic way, to express an emotion and at the same time signal their awareness that what they believe under the influence of that emotion is not true (since their mom is bringing them tendies in the basement.) The next person might say the same thing with no intended irony.
Would you say there's a stigma?
And Intel has purchased such equipment from them as well. A machine is not a fab-process-in-a-box or everyone with money would be in production already.
If I understand correctly, atomic weapons have a "strong link" and a "weak link". The detonation won't happen without everything firing correctly and on time; the signal to do that has to pass through both the strong link and the weak link. The strong link isn't in place until the bomb is armed. But couldn't a violent-enough accident knock the strong link into place? Yes, but that same amount of violence would destroy the weak link. (That's the point of the weak link.) So even if an atomic bomb had an accident hard enough (and lucky enough) to arm it, it still couldn't explode, because the weak link would be broken.
I know this from PHP, where I have to be aware of the encoding the strings are in. I still don't see what the advantage should be of that.
